The Eagle used a lot of parts from contemporary UK model kits in it's time. The Apollo Saturn V kits saw use on the Millennium Falcon and also the Eagle. The parts I'm looking at today would have been sourced from the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) provided in the 1/144 scale Airfix Saturn V model kit.
The spine area featured these LEM parts as separate half shells. I've seen different arrangements of these parts on different models, some Eagles built in later shows did have different locations (one seen had none at all).

| This model has three on the forward section and the most common. |
At this scale, the length of the LEM part should be approx. 2.5mm. We've managed to remix a low poly model to look like the original part.
To the printer....results tomorrow.
